Fire Started at Noon in Heart of the City. Peoria, Ill., Aug. 11.—A bold at- tempt was made at noon today to fire the business portion of the city. The losses include Horace Clarke's Son’s saills, $100,000; Neumiller’s livery barn and twenty horses, $50,- 000; O'Leary undertaking estab- lishment, $25,000, The Neumiller Livery Co., livery barns in Block GOO Adams street, were fired by an incendiary and 20 horses were suffocated. Only one horse was saved from the fire. Tne entire stock of carriages was destroy- ed. The O'Leary undertaking es- tablishment and contenteare a total loss. Previous to this firean attempt was made ty fire the storeroom and offices of the Val Blatz Brewing Co., a few blocks away. A residence was fired early this morning. The fire- bug has played havoc in Peoria for months, and the reward of $500 does not effect his capture, While the Neumiller fire was raging the torch was applied to the roller mills of Horace Clarke’szSons, a féw blocks away,and the entire plant was wiped out. It is singular that the founder of the company died police think they have arrested the firebug. List Your Property.

Trinidad, Colo., August 7.—Sixteen men are known to have been killed and some others are reported miss- ing as the result of an explosion of gas in one of the mines of the Union Coal and Coke company at Bowen, six miles from Trinidad, at 7 o'clock to-night. The work of rescuing the bodies was begun at once and four had been taken out at 10 o'clock. The explosion occurred just an hour after the night shift went to work. There were twenty-eight or thirty men in the shaft at the time. Of these only eight or ten are said to have been accounted for. Every man in the mine was injured to some extent, even those who were rescued having sustained serious fractures and internal injuries. Doing Business.
